Online learning courses simplify scheduling process - Robbie Hargett, University of Tennessee Daily Beacon
The School of Information Sciences will offer two new online courses for all undergraduates next semester as a way to give students more flexibility and options in fulfilling course requirements.
The school began offering undergraduate online courses this semester. Vandana Singh, assistant professor for the coordinator of the undergraduate Information Studies and Technology minor, said the program will continue from there. The courses are a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Synchronous classes are almost like traditional classes, in that students and faculty meet at the same time, though not the same location. In the asynchronous mode of delivery, professors upload lectures online, and students watch them at their convenience.
